The Transition of Application Programs From COBOL to a Fourth Generation Language, Spencer Rugaber and Srinivas Doddapaneni

Fourth Generation Language},

abstract = {It is becoming increasingly desirable to move older
application programs from their traditional mainframe
execution environments to networkes workstations. These
management information systems are most often written in
COBOL and store their data in files. A networked
environment enables the use of relational database
management system and its fourth generation access
language, SQL. A conceptual framework is described that
comprises a variety of stategies for making such a
transition. Decision citeria for selecting among them are
then presented. Finally, a variety of experiments intended
to explore the strategies are recounted. The experiments
include efforts to automate parts of the process.},

Downsizing Large Application Programs, Harry M. Sneed and Erika Nyary

month = sep,
abstract = {There is a great demand in industry to migrate from the
mainframe to distributed client/server type systems. The
following paper proposes three methods of splitting up
oversized host application programs with the goal of
offloading them on to workstation computers. The three
apporaches are by procedural connection, functional
decomposition, and abstract data typing. The author
describes his experience in applying each of the methods
and explains what other measures are necessary to downsize
a program.},
